The Danfoss range of APP high-pressure pumps
is designed according to EN 809 for use in RO
applications with low viscosity and corrosive
uids such as sea water.
Danfoss APP pumps are positive displacement
pumps with axial pistons that move a xed
amount of water in each cycle. Flow is proportional to the number of input shaft revolutions
(rpm).
Unlike centrifugal pumps, they produce the same
ow at a given speed no matter what the
discharge pressure.
The sectional drawing below illustrates the main
components of the APP 53-92 pump range.

3. Application examplesDanfoss APP pumps are built into a broad range
• Zero risk of lubricant contamination:
- Oil lubricants are replaced with the pumped medium, water, so there is no
contamination risk from the pump.
• Low maintenance costs:
- Ecient design and all-stainless steel
construction ensure exceptionally long
life. When Danfoss specications are
met, service intervals of 8,000 hours can
be expected. Service is easy, and can be
carried out on-site due to the simple
design and few parts.
• Low energy costs:
- The highly ecient axial piston design
provides the lowest energy
consumption of any comparable pump
on the market.
• Easy installation:
- The most compact and lightest design
available.
- The pump can be installed horizon-
tally in dierent positions rotating it
around the shaft (see section 10 for
example).
of RO desalination plants around the world:
• Containerized solutions for hotels, resorts
and residences on islands and in coastal
regions
No pulsation dampeners necessary due
to extremely low pressure pulsation.
- Powered directly by electric motors or
combustion engines (with special
coupling).
- All pumps are supplied with an
integrated ushing valve that allows the
uid to ow from inlet to the outlet,
when the pump is not running.
• High reliability:
- All parts are made of high corrosion
resistant materials e.g. Duplex
(EN1.4462/ UNS S31803) and
Super Duplex (EN1.4410/UNS S32750)
stainless steel and carbon reinforced
PEEK.
• Certied quality:
- Available with positive material idencation (PMI) certication on
request.
- ISO 9001, ISO 14001, IAFT 16949
- ATEX certication available for APP S (all
Super Duplex) and APP S 674 (API). Please see relevant data sheets.
• Mobile systems for humanitarian and
military organizations
If the ow required and the rotation speed (rpm)
of the pump is known, it is easy to select the
pump, tting the application best, by using the
diagram below.

Furthermore, this diagram shows that the
ow can be changed by changing the rotation
speed of the pump. The ow/rpm ratio is
constant, and the “required” ow can be
obtained by changing the rotation speed to a
corresponding value. Thus, the required rpm
can be determined as:
